Chapter 36
Lower Limb Prosthetic Components:
Microprocessor-Controlled Components
Phillip M. Stevens, MEd, CPO, FAAOP John W. Michael, MEd, CPO, FAAOP
Abstract
Lower limb prosthetic systems in current use are increasingly characterized by components
that are regulated by internal microprocessors, which can control passive joint characteristics and active joint movements at both the knee and the ankle. e previously limited
number of commercially available microprocessor-controlled components continues to
increase with more prototype devices being described in the current prosthetic literature.
e benets of these technologies are still being determined, but they appear to include
increased condence and security, reduced cognitive loading, improved energy eciency,
and increased self-selected walking speeds.
Keywords: external power; lower limb prosthesis; microprocessorcontrolled; microprocessor-regulated, prosthetic components
Introduction
Microprocessors were first introduced
into prosthetic components in 1990
and have been increasingly used since
that time. This chapter focuses on both
currently available and developing prosthetic technologies that use microprocessor regulation. Several key terms in
this chapter require a definition. The
term microprocessor-controlled (MPC)
refers to components that are intelligently regulated in real time by one or more
onboard microprocessors that modify
some characteristic of their behavior according to either environmental or user
inputs. Passive MPC components refer
to components in which the passive
resistance characteristics of the named
joint are moderated according to these
inputs. Active apropulsive MPC components refer to components capable

of producing nonpropulsive movement
around a joint axis, creating movement
of elements within the prosthesis but
incapable of propelling the end user’s
body weight. Active propulsive MPC
components refer to components that
respond to environmental or user inputs
by creating powered movements capable of propelling the user’s body against
gravitational forces.
Passive MPC Prosthetic
Knee Mechanisms
The large-scale incorporation of commercially available MPC prosthetic
components began with passive MPC
prosthetic knee mechanisms. Prior to
the implementation of microprocessors, the dampening characteristics of
prosthetic knee mechanisms were commonly regulated by hydraulic cylinders.
These hydraulic mechanisms were engineered to control the resistance of the
knee during the swing phase of gait, the
stance phase of gait, or both.
tive passive resistance characteristics of
such knees are adjusted by the prosthetist to match the needs of individual patients according to such factors as their
limb strength and preferred walking
speed. However, these resistance values
can be optimized only within a modest
range of walking speeds.4 Thus, if an individual walks faster than the gait speed
used when the resistance parameters for
the knee were set, these resistance values might be experienced as inadequate,
allowing excessive heel rise in the swing
phase and causing the individual to wait
on the prosthesis. In contrast, if an individual walks slower, resistance values
could be experienced as excessive, creating a relatively stiff knee.
In the first generation of passive MPC
knee mechanisms, the resistance values
of the knee during the swing phase of
gait could be set to relative values consistent with the user’s self-selected, fast,
and slow walking speeds.4 Sensors within the knee unit recorded the speed of
knee flexion during gait, allowing an onboard microprocessor to vary the swing
resistance of the knee in real time with
the user’s gait speed. Second-generation
devices, beginning with the C-leg (Ottobock), expanded the role of the microprocessors, allowing variation of both
swing and stance phase knee resistance
in real time according to environmental
inputs.4 In addition to adapting the knee
resistance to variable walking speeds,
these second-generation MPC knee

modulate the resistance to knee flexion
accord i ngly.
Early research inquiries on passive
MPC knees tended to focus on questions
of energy consumption and efficiency.
5,6
This led to the erroneous impression that
the benefits of MPC knees could only be
experienced by young and active amputees.7 Subsequent research efforts began
to focus on such issues as balance, confidence, stumbles, falls, cognitive loads
during ambulation, and the negotiation
of environmental obstacles.
8,9
With this
shift in focus, it became clear that many
of the benefits associated with the use of
MPC knees could also be experienced
by older patients who may not initially
present with the ability to ambulate at
elevated walking speeds.
9-13
There are now nearly two decades of
research on passive MPC knee mechanisms, with the bulk of that research
conducted on the C-leg (Figure 1) and
the C-leg Compact (Ottobock). In aggregate, this research suggests that the
greatest value of these devices to end
users may be observed in decreases in

Passive MPC Prosthetic
Foot-Ankle Mechanisms
More recently, the concept of regulating passive joint resistance has been
applied to foot-ankle mechanisms with
a renewed interest in hydraulically
regulated ankle motion. The loads experienced by the residual limb within
the prosthetic socket vary according to
walking surfaces, with higher localized
loads often observed during descending
tasks.16 The use of hydraulic foot-ankle
systems among patients with transtibial
amputations has been shown to decrease
the loading rates experienced at the distal tibia across a range of walking tasks
and surfaces and provide a generally
smoother gait.
modulated knee systems, ideal hydraulic
resistance at the ankle will vary according to patient preferences, ambulatory
speed, and the slope of the walking
surface.18 Hydraulic settings refined for
walking on level ground may prove less
ideal when navigating sloped terrains.
17-19
As with hydraulically
During hill ascent, increased resistance
to plantar flexion and decreased resistance to dorsiflexion may facilitate a
more normal gait pattern. In contrast,
descent may be safer and more stable
with decreased hydraulic resistance
to plantar flexion and increased resistance to dorsiflexion.
20,21
Within passive
MPC prosthetic foot-ankle mechanisms,
such as the élan foot (Endolite) and the
Raize foot (Fillauer), onboard sensors
are able to determine the slope of the
walking surface and adapt the hydraulic resistance of the ankle in real time21
(Figure 2).
Adapting ankle position according
to environmental demands represents
one strategy for passive MPC prosthetic
foot-ankle mechanisms. In an alternative strategy, referred to as the ankle
mimicking prosthetic foot or AMP foot
1.0 (developed by Vrije Universiteit in
Brussels, Belgium), the objective is to
obtain a targeted, focused release of the
energy conserved throughout the stance
phase at the moment of push-off.22 The
ankle mimicking prosthetic foot design
does not draw on external power to create propulsive forces; rather, it refines
the concept of an energy-storing foot by
harvesting energy throughout the stance
phase of gait and releasing it through a
more physiologic range of plantar flexion at the moment of push-off as determined by an onboard microprocessor.
22
Active Apropulsive
MPC Prosthetic FootAnkle Mechanisms
During ambulation, the ankle experiences swing phase dorsiflexion to assist
in limb clearance. The PROPRIO FOOT
(Össur) represents an active apropulsive MPC foot-ankle system in which
swing phase dorsiflexion is provided
through the application of external
power to a drive motor23 (Figure 3).
This movement can also be used to
adapt the ankle position during sitting (by adjusting to an alignment of
relative plantar flexion to better mimic

able-bodied ankle behavior) and across
variable heel heights (by adopting increasing angles of relative plantar flexion with increasing heel height). It is
also capable of actively adapting to
surfaces with variable inclines and declines. The effects of this mechanism
on ambulation are still uncertain, with
preliminary studies suggesting inconsistent effects on self-selected walking
speeds and energy costs during ambulation.
24-26
Patients have described
both a feeling of increased safety and
decreased perceived exertion during
ramp descent.

During stair ascent,
the additional dorsiflexion mobility of
the prosthetic limb appears to reduce
the impact on the sound limb.

Active Propulsive
MPC Prosthetic FootAnkle Mechanisms
More recently, developers of foot- ankle
prostheses have been challenged to
address the propulsive deficits encountered in the absence of concentric
contractions across the major joints of
the lower limbs. Most of the propulsion
of the able-bodied lower limb is derived from the concentric activity of the
plantar flexors during push-off.27 Given
that the ankle generates 3 to 5 times
the energy it absorbs during walking

only partially addressed in prosthetic
feet with nonpowered energy storage
and return.
30, 31
Several approaches are being explored to provide propulsive movement
at the prosthetic ankle joint. In the first
commercially available, externally powered, propulsive MPC foot-ankle prosthetic design, the BiOM foot (BiOM),
battery-powered electronic drive motors coupled with parallel, mechanical
springs are used to mimic the push-off
behavior of the plantar flexors
32,33
(Fig-
ure 4). The preliminary benefits identified with this system include reduced
energy consumption in gait, increased
self-selected walking speeds, and decreased loading of the sound side limb
at the moment of prosthetic push-off in
33-36
gait.
In addition to the BiOM foot, several
alternative designs are in various stages
of development. In a device that uses a
spring ankle with regenerative kinetics
(known as SPARKy), robotic tendon actuators enhance the energy stored by
helical springs mounted posterior to
a prosthetic ankle joint (Figure 5). As
these springs elongate during ankle dorsiflexion, low-energy motors mounted
in series with the springs draw on an
external power source to further deflect

them, thus augmenting their propulsive
forces at the time of push-off.
37, 38
In a related approach, the ankle
mimicking prosthetic foot or AMP foot
2.0 (developed by Vrije Universiteit
in Brussels, Belgium) uses two elastic
springs. A spring for plantar flexion is
located within the foot and stores energy throughout the controlled dorsiflexion of gait. A second push-off spring is
mounted posteriorly to the prosthetic
ankle joint where it is progressively
loaded by an externally powered electric
actuator throughout the stance phase. A
locking mechanism stores the energy of
the system until the moment of push-off,
when it is released.
39
Efforts also have been described in
which pneumatic bladders are inflated
to mimic the contractile activity of muscle bellies.
40- 42
However, the effectiveness of these pneumatic systems has
been limited because of their current
need to be tethered to an external source
of pressurized air.

Extensively described within the literature, prototypes of the Vanderbilt knee
(developed by Vanderbilt University
in Nashville, TN) suggest substantial
increases in self-selected walking velocity, decreases in the energy costs of
ambulation, and improved biomechanics during the negotiation of stairs and
49-51
ramps
(Figure 7). Although early in
their development, alternative energyefficient approaches are being investigated in which the energy absorbed at
the knee during stance flexion is stored
and transferred to the ankle to provide
a propulsive push-off.

on level ground, the knee joint is better
characterized by its energy absorption
capabilities.29 Prosthetic replication
of knee joint function has historically focused on the resistance provided
by hydraulic cylinders and elastomeric bumpers. However, during certain
tasks, such as ascending sloped terrain
or stairs and sit-to-stand transfers, the
knee acts as a net power generator.
29
Early attempts at providing powered propulsion at the knee joint have
been based on the battery-driven drive
motors of the POWER KNEE (Össur)
(Figure 6). Early evidence is limited but
suggests potential advantages in limb
symmetry during sit-to-stand trans-
43,44
fers
and sparing of the limb on the
sound side during step-over-step stair
45
ascent.
An alternative approach has been
suggested in which elastic actuators are
coupled antagonistically to store and
release the energy of the knee throughout the gait cycle in a more conservative fashion.46 Such a system would be
nearly energy neutral during walking
on level ground, thereby reducing the
weight and capacity of the external battery source. However, the system would
be capable of positive energy production
during ascending tasks, with an associated increased reliance on the externally
powered actuators of the system.
As with active propulsive MPC prosthetic foot-ankle mechanisms, pneumatic artificial muscle systems have
been suggested as a potential source
of propulsive force.47 However, this effort is currently confined to laboratory
prototypes and limited by the current
requirement that it be tethered to an
external source of power.

Myoelectric Control of
Powered Movement
The MPC components described to this
point rely on input gathered from sensors embedded within the components
themselves. Using angular velocities
as measured at the mechanical joints
or load sensors positioned within the
prosthesis, the various microprocessor
mechanisms interpret this input to infer
the needs of the end user and accordingly adapt the passive or propulsive
characteristics of the prosthesis. An
alternative approach, which is receiv
ing increased attention in the current
literature, involves user-generated inputs in the form of myoelectric signals
generated at the residual limb to trigger
active movement of the prosthesis.
Transfemoral amputees have demonstrated successful myoelectric control of
virtual lower limb prosthetic devices.
This was followed by successful ambulatory control of externally powered prototype prostheses, with control provided
by myoelectrodes positioned underneath the interface liners in transtibial
applications and within the socket wall
of a transfemoral prosthesis.

potential benefits of further enhancing

the functionality of externally powered
lower limb prostheses by coupling targeted muscle reinnervation techniques
with more elaborate myoelectric control systems.58 Preliminary investigation
suggests that, within transfemoral applications, patients may experience greater
comfort and fewer motion artifacts when
electrodes are mounted within the interior socket wall of a skin-fit, suction
suspension socket.

Summary
In addition to the wealth of non–MPC
components that continue to meet the
basic needs of many individuals with
lower extremity limb loss, many modern
prosthetic components derive functional benefits from microprocessor regulation. These components range from
passive devices, which change the joint
resistance values in real time to adapt
to the immediate needs of the end user,
to active propulsive devices capable of
drawing energy from an external power
source to create propulsive movements.
Within this range of MPC components,
the functional benefits are not yet fully
defined but appear to have the poten
tial for enhanced safety and confidence,
reduced energy consumption, and decreased reliance on compensatory gait
strategies. Continued research and
development will better define these
benefits within the prosthetic healthcare delivery system and improve the
functional abilities of the end users.
